In my Reader…The Sketchbook Project

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am going to participate in The Sketchbook Project. Artists from around the world all interpret the same small sketchbook. Anyone can participate. For $25 you are sent a small Moleskin sketchbook to fill according to a theme you choose and return it by the deadline. All are then cataloged and become part of a traveling exhibit. The idea is too cool for me not to participate in. I’ve been thinking about working on a non-garden related sketchbook and looking for a reason to start it…kismet!

On the website they show examples of previous sketchbooks. Here are my two favorites.

What a great idea. I sketch everyday in some way in addition to my design work and like you, do it to actually get away from the seriousness of that kind of drawing. I will look into the project. So far my blog is the recipient of my fun illustrations. Sketching is almost always more introspective and private.
